About 3E0K33Z

3E0K33Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a introduction procedure on the genitourinary tract using a percutaneous approach with anti-inflammatory. In ICD-10-PCS, introduction means putting in or on a therapeutic, diagnostic, nutritional, physiological, or prophylactic substance except blood or blood products.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other injection of therapeutic substance into kidney, other injection of therapeutic substance into kidney and injection of steroid, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (55.96, 55.96 and 99.23).

For a different body part, codes include 3E0133Z (subcutaneous tissue), 3E0233Z (muscle), 3E0333Z (peripheral vein), 3E0433Z (central vein), 3E0533Z (peripheral artery), 3E0633Z (central artery) and 22 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 3E0K73Z (via natural or artificial opening) and 3E0K83Z (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 3E0K36Z (nutritional substance), 3E0K37Z (electrolytic and water balance substance), 3E0K3BZ (anesthetic agent), 3E0K3HZ (radioactive substance), 3E0K3KZ (other diagnostic substance), 3E0K3NZ (analgesics, hypnotics, sedatives) and 1 more.

It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
